We Belong Together || Draco Malfoy X Reader

Y/N POV

I heard the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff was cancelled. Took them a long time to do that.

Snape burst into the common room all of a sudden. Everyone looked up to him. He announced a new curfew for us and told us we would have to be escorted to each class. He left as soon as he finished.

The new curfew was 6 pm. Were we in some sort of quarantine?

"Outrageous, 6 pm is too early for bed." I heard someone spoke.

"If it wasn't for that muggle-born."

My eyes widened at that sentence. I turned to Draco and he looked away. He knew something, didn't he?

"Draco," I called.

"Hey Goyle, you need help with that?" He suddenly asked Greg who was basically just daydreaming.

"Draco," I called again.

"Ah, gotta tell my father about this," he said walking away.

Did he just ignore me?

I followed him to the boys' dormitory. Girls weren't allowed to be here but I got a business to be done.

He turned around to face me. He looked a little bit nervous.

"Y/N please, you can't be here. There are boys!"

"You being serious? I've always been with boys ever since my first day here, not to be mentioned, they're the annoying ones," I rolled my eyes.

"Let's just talk somewhere else," he sighed finally giving up.

He held my hand while we were heading to an empty corridor.

"You know who the muggle-born, don't you?" I started.

"Can we talk about something else?"

"No," I insisted and smiled at him.

I had found, recently, that Draco seemed to like it when I smiled at him. He would tell me everything now.

"Fine," he groaned.

"Someone was attacked again. I heard it was...uh, you sure you wanna know?" He hesitated.

I nodded and he let out a long sigh.

"It's Granger."

I looked at him in the eyes, trying to find a lie. But I found nothing. He was telling the truth.

I broke down in tears. I hadn't had a proper talk or apologise to her and I would probably not be able to do that now.

He walked closer and pulled me in for a hug.

"Y/N...don't cry, she's gonna be okay," he comforted.

"I want to visit her," I sniffed.

"I'll take you to visit her tomorrow."

•••

Thanks to Draco for comforting me last night. He promised me to take me to visit Hermione before dinner started.

Not gonna lie, I was quite scared to visit her. Draco even asked me a few times if I really wanted to go after noticing the look on my face.

Madam Pomfrey didn't allow us to visit her at first, but I insisted and told her that we meant no harm. She let us in at last.

"You go there, I'll wait here," Draco mouthed. I smiled at him in response.

I walked towards Hermione who had been petrified. How could someone do this to her? She was innocent.
